The Last Man Standing 17/18
I was thinking about the Southampton situation, and it got me mulling over who people think are the five best players and the five worst players in our squad. To define best and worst in this context, I would like to know others opinions of those they consider are indispensable and core to the team ....and those they would be least disappointed if they left the club and wouldn't mind being sold.
Given that I suspect Lloris would be on everyone's best list, I am only interested in people's views on outfield players. Here are my lists. I have to admit that I found both lists very difficult to compile - especially the Best list.
Best
Eriksen
Verts
Walker
Lamela
Dyer
Worst
Chiriches
Paulinho
Ade
Lennon
Dembele
Please don't just criticise my "teams" but put forward your own. I don't think you will find it that easy as so many are "much of a muchness". I would be delighted if we replaced those on the worst list with players better than those on the best list, then we really would have a decent squad unlike the mediocre one we have now. Especially if we bought players with real hunger and fighting spirit - a mental quality so lacking in the current squad - amply epitomised by how difficult it proved to be to select a captain, with so few obvious candidates in the team.
Onwards and upwards. Over to you.
